You could do: { \stemUp g'8[ \stemDown \once \override Stem.beaming = #'((0) . (-1 0)) c''16 \once \override Stem.beaming = #'((-1 0) . (0)) d'' e''8 \stemUp c'] } Though, lily warns (with or without the overrides): warning: no viable initial configuration found: may not find good beam slope And is absolutely correct, the output _is_ ugly. So I agree with Andrew. Cheers, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
